Fans of Temporelli can see him at the Lake George Opera this year, where he will perform in Donizetti's "Viva La Mamma (Le Convenienze ed Inconvenienze Teatrali) and portray Zuniga in Carmen.

Here he is performing Handel's famous Largo. You can also hear him on YouTube singing "Aprite un po quegli occhi" from Mozart's Figaro, Tu lo sai by Giuseppe Torelli and the old standard "Danny Boy."

JOYCE DI DONATO: QUOTE OF THE YEAR (www.joycedidonato.com)

We do NOT need a bad imitation of another artist that has come before us (the blond one, the “Next Callas”, the skinny-one, or the “New Pavarotti” or another barihunk … Well, OK, we can always use more barihunks!).
